Margie Hatfield Scholarship Seeks Applicants

The East Cobb County Council (ECCC) PTA created?the Margie Hatfield Scholarship Fund in 1990 to honor the?dedication and years of service given by Mrs. Hatfield to the?youth of our Council. She is a Past President of the organization?who served three consecutive terms. It is with this?service in mind that the Council PTA sponsors the scholarship?program. The purpose of the fund is to help deserving youth?in their quest for higher knowledge. An emphasis is placed?on the service records and citizenship of the winning applicants,?as this embodies the philosophy of PTA. The Margie?Hatfield Scholarship Fund will once again award six separate?$1,000 scholarships; one student from each of the ECCC?PTA high schools will be chosen. The following criteria, listed?in order of significance, are used to evaluate applicants:?involvement in service-oriented projects, community and
extra-curricular activities, leadership, honors and awards,?an essay, references, completeness of application, and?grade point average. Here are some more details about the?Margie Hatfield scholarship:
